Thanks to grants from the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust, Efroymson Family Fund, a CICF fund, and Normandie Foundation, Citizens Action Coalition Education Fund was able to establish the Central Indiana Environmental Education Program (CIEEP). The goals of this program are as follows:

Establish a financially sustained program to educate the general public about energy consumption, conservation and environmental issues in Indiana.
Reduce overall household energy costs for program participants through measures that reduce energy consumption.

Using the Low Carbon Diet: a 30-day program to Lose 5,000 Pounds, written by David Gershon, this program provides concrete, affordable strategies people can implement in their own households in order to reduce energy usage, save money on heating and electric bills, and create a cleaner, healthier personal environment while contributing to a greater community effort to reduce consumption and embrace sustainable energy alternatives. One simple example is to use compact florescent bulbs that measurably reduce household energy usage.
